2. Harvest: Ripe red cherries hand-picked, Nov–Feb.

3. Processing: Washed (pulped, fermented, washed), natural (dried whole), or honey (dried with mucilage).

4. Drying: To 10–12% moisture on raised beds, 14–30 days depending on method.

5. Resting & hulling: Rested in parchment, then hulled to the green bean.

6. Grading: Sorted by screen size and defects into A, AA, AAA, PB.

7. Roasting: 8–14 minutes; the roaster decides light, medium or dark.
